But there are events going on throughout the city for those unable to attend the game. The Penguins will have the big screen operating outside the arena, and several bars and restaurants expect large crowds.

"We're expecting to be a full house early with everyone coming to claim their tables," said George Pantelas, owner of Excuses on the South Side.

Pantelas shows all of the Penguins games. Several of his tables are reserved for regulars, who expect to have the same seats and the same set up every game. Many fans have certain items that must be placed on their tables.

"A lot of them brought their own stuff that they feel is lucky, when they're not, they lay them on the ground, they lay them on their side, very superstitious," Pantelas said.

Most restaurants and bars expect to have their seats filled early, and owners urge customers to come several hours before the puck drops if they expect to get a seat.
